Effects of sulfur dioxide on wine made with sulfitic maceration

Sulfitic maceration is part of a technique used in large companies to store must through the superdosing of sulfur dioxide added after the destemming of the grapes. The objective of this study was to analyze the physico-chemical characteristics of the wines elaborated by sulfitic maceration. The study was conducted at the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA), Campus Dom Pedrito, RS, Brazil. Three vinifications (identified by treatments 1, 2 and 3) were performed with 3 replicates each. The grapes used were the cultivar Alicante Bouschet. Treatment 1 underwent the same procedures as treatment 2, except for the dosage of 1400 mg.L−1 of added sulfur dioxide. The grapes were destemmed, crushed and macerated for 2 days and before fermentation started, the must was heated to remove SO2. In the treatment 3 a traditional maceration was carried out for 5 days. The physicochemical characteristics of the wines were analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and the results were analyzed by statistical analysis of comparison of averages. The color intensity of treatment 2 showed no significant difference in relation to the treatment 3, demonstrating that with 2 days of sulphitic maceration, occurs a color extraction similar to a traditional 5-day maceration

SUPRIMENTO ARTERIAL PARA A BOLSA CLOACAL DE GALINHAS (Gallus gallus Linnaeus, 1758) DA LINHAGEM LABEL ROUGE

Foram estudados a origem, o número e a ordenação dos ramos arteriais destinados à bolsa cloacal em 30 exemplares de Gallus gallus, da linhagem Label Rouge, machos e fêmeas, com idade entre oito e dez semanas. Após injetado o sistema arterial desses animais com solução corada de Neoprene látex, seguido de fixação em solução aquosa de formol a 10 % e ulteriormente dissecados, verificou-se que: a) uma artéria bursocloacal direita esteve presente em 24 dos casos (80,00%), ao passo que a artéria bursocloacal esquerda foi confirmada em 29 dos exemplares (96,66%); b) a bolsa cloacal foi irrigada por um ou dois ramos cloacais, oriundos da artéria bursocloacal ipsilateral; c) a artéria cloacal direita ocorreu em 20 casos (66,66%) e a artéria cloacal esquerda em 9 casos (30,00%), ocasiões em que cediam apenas um ramo; d) o número de ramos arteriais, independentemente de sua origen, variou de dois a quatro, sendo a sua disposição de maneira própria para cada exemplar examinado. Arterial supply for the cloacal bursa of the Rouge Lineage fowl Gallus gallus (Linnaeus, 1758) Abstract A study has been carried out on the origin, number and disposition of the cloacal bursa arterial branches from tirthy male and female fowls (Gallus gallus), of the Label Rouge lineage, ageing between eight and ten weeks. After being injected the arterial system of those animals with a colored solution of Neoprene latex, they were soon after fixed in an 10% aqueous solution of formalin and dissected. The following observations were carried out: a) a right burso cloacal artery was present in 24 of the cases (80.00%), while the left bursocloacal artery was confirmed in 29 of the cases (96.66%); b) the cloacal bursa was irrigated by one or two cloacal branches of the ipsilateral bursocloacal artery; c) the right cloacal artery is present in 20 cases (66.66%) and the left cloacal artery in 9 cases (30.00%), with only one branch; d) the number of arterial branches, independent of origin
